Tuca Ferretti confirmed as Mexico interim coach for September friendlies

Tigres coach Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti will be in charge of the Mexico national team for next month's games against Uruguay and the United States.

The Mexican federation confirmed that "an agreement with coach Ricardo Ferretti and Tigres has been reached so he can manage the Mexican national team on an interim basis for El Tri's scheduled games in the upcoming FIFA international dates."

Ferretti comes into the job on a temporary basis for the second time, having previously taken over for four games in 2015, when the Brazil-born coach guided Mexico past the United States in a CONCACAF playoff to book El Tri's place at the 2017 Confederations Cup.
